nest maker

It seemes to me that there are not so many birds any more in the forum
Here is one .....






I didnt realize that the birds are SO SO fast ! Exp time must go really up!

wow, beautiful love them, and the tree trunk just adds more to the beauty of the image, love them a lot

The top one's my favourite - the blurred wings give a great sense of movement and action

Love the top photo, just wish I had the skill to take shots like that.

First one for me as well, great capture. Well done

These are the kind of bird photos I admire!

Nice photos, that's what you call a birdhouse, did they stay or were they just looking round for somewhere to live?

It is an old tree that is empty inside.
The birds are making a nest really. Look, the first pic. It is carrying a bunch of stuff for nest. The branches were on its way a bit, had to struggle bit, before got inside with its treasure
Mostly it carried moss. But then the birds were too fast - this exp time was too slow!

I still wonder how they cope with ants. Because ants think the tree to be theis home as well Or maybe birds take it as a lunch served

I feel sad, that the end of the tail went out of the pic

lovely shots, 1 for me,

Sorry Aiki, I should have noticed.... I'm that used to birds coming looking around a nest box in my garden and then deciding that it's not quite right for them and flying off into the blue-yonder never to be seen again. I'll have to move it to another location, it's never been used in 3 years.

The first one is a very nice environmental shot.

shim[/quote]If they can, they usually prefer some natural place, I guess.
It is quite a "science" how large is the hole, how far the hole is from bottom, how peaceful are the surroundings etc. I luckily do have the old trees - that still carry some apples too But I see for the first time the birds living there.
BTW, have you cleaned the nest box??? You should, I think.

Thanks for everybody for nice words.
There are so many "bird photographers" in the forum, that I feel quite in child´s boots.
